Re: [Framers] What causes documentation to fail

2016-05-20 Thread Catherine Woods
Documentation creep - like every 4 months project management "thinks" up another document (or decides that original docs should be split into x) and expects the one assigned writer to pick it up Buy-in from project management on the documentation to be written that "don't change over time" Mysterio

RE: Marketing a product: which language for the documentation

Other questions might be: does your client want all of translations in one document? Speaking from some translation experience: you also need to decide what "flavours" of languages you want? If the product will be sold in Central and Latin America as well as Europe, you may want to try Internatio

I have this problem but in my case it's consistent. After I've rebooted my computer, the first time I try to create a PDF from a file or book it doesn't work. If I immediately use "save as" again, it's fine. Catherine -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+catwood=telus@lists.frameu

She needs to use Acrobat 7 Pro if she wants to get the full advantage of the commenting feature. It's a great feature with very few problems (for its first release). I'd recommend it to anyone who is tired of getting comments back in varied formats. The auto online help feature is great as well.
